Sea state\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warships from the US, Japanese and South Korean navies are in Sydney<\/a> to take part in the annual Exercise Pacific Vanguard. Their visits to Garden Island Naval Base<\/a> are subject to strict counter-Covid precautions and shore leave is not permitted. The crews from USS Rafael Peralta<\/em>, JS Makinami<\/em>, ROKS Wang Geon<\/em> and Australia\u2019s Hobart-class guided missile destroyer HMAS Brisbane<\/em> will build their cooperative seamanship and warfighting skills during the exercise.<\/p>\n

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has opened his country\u2019s fourth Mediterranean naval base<\/a> in Gargoub, 255 kilometres west of Alexandria and near the Libyan border. The inauguration was attended by leaders of both the United Arab Emirates and Libya in a sign of the warming diplomatic ties<\/a> among these nations since Libya came under a new administration. Egyptian media says the new base includes an airstrip and will support the country\u2019s military modernisation<\/a> in the region. Egypt says it is strategically positioned to secure shipping lines to the nation\u2019s north and northwest.<\/p>\n

Flight path<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Philippine Air Force C-130 Hercules transport aircraft crashed after missing the runway at Jolo airport in the country\u2019s south, killing 52 people, including three civilians on the ground. Forty-nine of the 96 soldiers and crew it carried were killed in the crash on 4 July and the remainder were injured in the Philippine military\u2019s worst-ever air disaster<\/a>. The soldiers were on their way to join counterterrorism operations against Islamist separatist group Abu Sayyaf. Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana has ordered an investigation<\/a> into the crash.<\/p>\n

Chinese state-run media outlet the Global Times<\/em> reports that the People\u2019s Liberation Army Air Force is using artificial intelligence to train pilots<\/a> in aerial combat. It says Chinese pilots are matching wits with AI systems to improve the pilots\u2019 decision-making and combat skills and \u2018training\u2019 the AI systems, which may to be integrated into future warplanes. While it\u2019s not clear how much progress China has made with airborne AI, its integration is at the forefront<\/a> of military<\/a> developments <\/a>and a key to human\u2013machine teaming<\/a> in future air combat.<\/p>\n

The Australian Defence Force has suspended<\/a> operations of its MRH-90 Taipan helicopters due to safety concerns. The ADF has released little information other than confirmation that the issues relate to the aircraft\u2019s maintenance. This isn\u2019t the first time<\/a> Taipans have been grounded. The manufacturer, Airbus, and the ADF are collaborating<\/a> to resolve the problems; meanwhile, the ADF\u2019s other helicopters, including Tigers, Chinooks, Black Hawks and Seahawks, are operating normally.<\/p>\n

South Korean defence company Hanwha Defense says <\/a>the Republic of Korea Army will next year trial the Hanwha AS21 Redback infantry fighting vehicle, which is one of two contenders in phase 3 of the Australian Army\u2019s Land 400 project. The Redback will be tested <\/a>by an ROK Army mechanised unit.<\/p>\n

Final frontier<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mary Wallace \u2018Wally\u2019 Funk<\/a>, a veteran pilot now 82, is set to fly to space<\/a> as Jeff Bezos\u2019s \u2018honoured guest\u2019 on his spacecraft New Shepard. Funk was the youngest graduate of NASA\u2019s \u2018Mercury 13\u2019 Women in Space program in the 1960s. The program was later cancelled when NASA deemed women unfit for space travel, even though they\u2019d outperformed their male counterparts<\/a> in key aspects of their training. Now Funk is set to become the world\u2019s oldest space traveller on New Shepard\u2019s first flight carrying people. Take-off is scheduled for 20 July, the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two Chinese astronauts exhibited their country\u2019s first indigenous space suit<\/a> for nearly seven hours during a spacewalk<\/a> on Sunday when they installed<\/a> parts of China\u2019s Tiangong space station<\/a>. Alongside prototype helmet cameras, the Feitian (literally, \u2018Fly to Sky\u2019) suits sport what its makers say is an innovative design<\/a> with decorative ribbons and a \u2018slimming\u2019 visual finish. The three-month mission, China\u2019s first crewed space flight in five years<\/a>, is an important step in its ambitious space program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A ransomware attack on US-based IT company Kaseya could impact up to 1,500 businesses. Last Friday, hackers successfully disabled Kaseya\u2019s customer IT systems on five continents, forcing hundreds of supermarket closures in Sweden and knocking New Zealand schools and day-care facilities offline. Increasing ransomware attacks on US firms, including Microsoft Exchange<\/a>, SolarWinds<\/a> and Colonial Pipeline<\/a>, <\/strong>have exposed major vulnerabilities in US cybersecurity. In response, the Biden administration has made sweeping reforms<\/a> to cybersecurity standards, established a cybersecurity taskforce and appointed the first national cyber director.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) announced<\/a> investigations into two US-listed Chinese companies, Full Truck Alliance and Kanzhun, citing potential risks to national data and security. These inquiries follow a similar CAC probe into popular ride-hailing app Didi a day earlier. The CAC\u2019s cybersecurity review appears to be retaliation for the US\u2019s designation<\/a> of five Chinese technology companies as national security risks in March. But it also demonstrates China\u2019s concerns about tech giants\u2019 growing power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
